Mike Lockyer 02 - No Place to Die

Jane Bennett, senior Detective Sergeant for the murder squad at her
London police precinct, is having a terrible day. Her boss, Detective
Inspector Mike Lockyer, has just returned to work after two weeks on
"leave," though Jane knows it was really more like a suspension. He's
still shaken by the loss of a victim in their last murder case, and Jane
is still stung that Lockyer didn't trust her enough to confide in her
about the case before it was too late.

But neither of them has the
luxury of time to dwell on past grievances. Jane has just received a
phone call from a good friend saying that her husband Mark Leech, a
retired policeman, has disappeared. When Jane finds dramatic blood
splatters in the laundry room, she knows Mark is seriously injured at
best, and they don't have any time to waste. And then the body of a
young girl is discovered in a tomb under a London greenway, and police
resources are stretched even thinner…until it starts to look like the
two cases might be related.
